−	The '''Aeron''' attack VTOL was derived from prototypes created by the [[Word of Blake]] at the beginning of the [[Jihad]] era. These experimental models mounted a new vector thrust propulsion system on a '''[[Hawk Moth]]''' chassis.  It was thought that this method of propulsion would prove less vulnerable to damage than conventional rotor blades.  Early versions of the Aeron were first deployed by the Blakists as part of operations on [[Outreach]] in late [[3067]].  However, experience showed the vector-thrust system to be less rugged than was hoped, and the Blakists abandoned the concept.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp12+"/>	+	The '''''Aeron''''' is based on the [[Word of Blake]] prototypes used at the dawn of the [[Jihad]]. These early prototypes used the ''[[Hawk Moth]]'' chassis with a new vector thrust propulsion system to help eliminate the more traditional but vulnerable rotorblades used by conventional VTOLs.  These early versions of the ''Aeron'' were first deployed by the Blakists in fighting on [[Outreach]] in late [[3067]].  However, the Blakists abandoned the concept due to the failure of the project to achieve the durability that was expected.
−	Brooks Incorporated of [[Andurien]] acquired vector thrust technology from the bankrupt [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]] and put the fully-developed Aeron into production by [[3082]].  The craft was in widespread use among the forces of both Inner Sphere and Clan factions by the mid 3080s.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp12+"/>	+	Brooks Incorporated of [[Andurien]] acquired vector thrust technology from bankrupt [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]] and perfected what would become the ''Aeron'' by [[3082]].  The craft would become popular among the Inner Sphere and Clan factions by the mid 3080s.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 12, "Background info on the Aeron".</ref>

−	The Aeron carries a single [[Hellion-a III]] Extended Range Large Laser mounted in the nose.  This weapon is aimed with the assistance of a battle-grade [[Targeting Computer]].  This allows the VTOL to target enemy units quickly and accurately even while moving at high speed.	+	The craft's main and only weapon is its Hellion-a III Extended Range Large Laser, which is mounted in the front of the craft.  The accuracy of the Aeron's laser is augmented by a [[Targeting Computer]], which allows the craft to use its high speed while experiencing little problem targeting opponents.  Other equipment includes a [[Guardian ECM Suite]], which allows the craft to both jam more sophisticated electronics and be used in the interdiction role.  The Aeron carries  3.5 tons of Durallex Super Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor to allow better durability in combat and to protect the craft's powerful but fragile Extra Light Fusion Engine.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 12, "Aeron's weapons and other characteristics".</ref>
−	Defensive equipment includes a [[Guardian ECM Suite]], which allows the craft to both jam sophisticated electronic detection gear to interdict enemy signals. Physical protection consists of 3.5 tons of Durallex Super Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, concentrated to protect the crew and the relatively fragile fusion engine.	+	=Variants=
		+	*;BAP : Intended as less-expensive alternative to the principle model, this variant is seen as a recon and sniper vehicle.  In place of the craft's Targeting Computer, a [[Beagle Active Probe]] is added along with a half-ton [[Cargo Bay|cargo bay]].  The small bay is intended to be able to carry remote drones<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 12, "Variants".</ref>.
